I live in the country and have satellite service as well. As you mentioned, there can be a lag sometimes as broadband has to be shared. That was affecting the big programs my husband had to use.

So we now have a static IP address, which I think we only share with a maximum of 20 people? Makes a huge difference for speed.

Now ours was part of a package we got upon renewal, but even without a package, it would be something like $10 a month extra. Well worth it if you use large programs that can stall and even cut out on you at prime time for use of the net.
